Today a Thai friend of ours met with me to pass on her ideas about our villa’s name. Although L-08 had served her well up to now, we wanted something a bit more meaningful. Normally Buddhists call on monks to name children, houses, towns etc in order to bring good fortune. Not having access to a Thai speaking Buddhist monk in Singapore, we asked our friend to come up with something beautiful, tranquil and easy for non-Thai speakers to pronounce … and so Baan Pimalai was christened!
